If you have 2 factor security set up on the account and they still got in then your 2 factor security code is also compromised.
I'd secure that and reactivate it immediately.

Hi all,
I have a customer that have emails hosted by O365. Hi account has been hacked and a Dropbox account has been created with this email.
This Dropbox account was created by the hacker to host files and send links to all his contacts.
How can I ask Dropbox to remove this account?
The hackers have enables the 2 auth methods and I can't connect on Dropbox account...
I found non link to contact the support directly...
Thanks for your help
Thierry

Hey Thierry67, really sorry to hear about this.
Does your customer still have access to their email address?
If so, make sure to ask them to submit a help request to our support team through this page; they'll be able to assist them further.
Make sure they/you use a browser that's not signed in to any Dropbox account or an incognito window.

Hi,
Yes all his email part is safe now.
I will send a request on this link and prevent end customers (he don't speak english 🙂 )
Best regards

Someone created a Dropbox account using an email address from my company. They are sending out malicious links from the Dropbox account using this employee's name and email address in the Subject. Can Dropbox support help us terminate this account? We have examined the headers of the emails and confirmed they are coming from Dropbox mail servers. To be clear, this employee did not create this Dropbox account.
